A satsang featuring a personal testimony followed by a discourse on divine justice and karma. "My life has been connected with spirituality since I was 21. At that point, my life changed a lot.

Hell is presided over by Yama, the god of death." A seeker named Janez shares his spiritual journey, beginning with a traumatic accident that led him to spirituality. Swāmījī then responds by giving him the spiritual name Dharmadrasa and launches into an extensive teaching on the afterlife. He describes the roles of Yamarāja (the lord of death) and Dharmarāja (the lord of righteousness) in judging souls based on their karma, emphasizing the consequences of actions like meat-eating and the importance of kindness.
